Can they be used in running shoes? I run and just learned that I have flat feet and pronate. Need something to withstand the pressure from running.

If you are looking for a defined arch support this would not work. They are a very thin gel insert. They have placed the gel and designed the bottom just right to relieve certain pressure points in the feet. I have plantar fasciitis and they work GREAT for this. I do have a pair in my running/walking shoes and they are great for me, but I don't have flat feet. Hope this helps.

I agree with Up4Grabs. Perfect for for long, fast paced, walking for those with plantar fasciitis. We just walked all over Italy and couldn't have done it without these!

I use them for extreme hiking - Cliffs, Ice, Frozen rivers Etc... You should probably look at a pair of good running shoes with spikes if the conditions call for it to be icy. I would not use these in a Marathon.

I use them in regular shoes. It does make the shoe fit a little tighter - maybe a half size difference. Hope that helps.

I have been wearing mine in my tennis shoes and they are worn nearly everyday. I received my pair about 2 months ago and still in great shape. I would say replace them if they start feeling flat under your feet or pain returns. You can check their website too for more specific information. I love mine though! :)

I have severe pronation and fallen arches. So I need a strong arch support as well. These are the only ones that work anywhere close to a custom orthotic. They will not last as long as a custom but they will do the trick for a year or two.

Yes, you must be careful in putting these on before venturing outside. I always make it a point to sit on the step and put them on my running shoes to ensure I dont scratch up my wood floors, small price to pay when I get the traction needed to do my long runs in snow and ice conditions.

Yes, I have ASICS Kantana. I mostly use these in my running shoes.. they are great.

I don't see why not. They are a knee high dress sock that offers compression. Many runners are using compression socks these days.

Will be a tight fit into a running shoe even without a sock you will still feel some discomfort. Suggest use a thin sock on the brace foot.

Good questions! I don't see why you couldn't use them with a speciallised. As far as the shoes any will do, no special shoe needed. Hope this helps, happy riding!

I am not sure for flat feet, but my podiatrist highly recommended them for my plantar fascitis(heel pain). I haven't tried them yet, due to just having foot surgery 10 days ago, but this is what I have to wear along with New Balance sneakers when I am allowed to wear shoes again in about a month.

These work best in a running shoe. It's too thick with the loafer style shoes we own.

No. Not for outside runs. I think you can for treadmill runs if you need that.

I think these will make your shoes too tight. I use mine in running shoes (much roomier than HH). For HH I would get the thin cushion type of insoles for HH. That should make them more comfortable without taking up too much room. You may even be able to peel out the old rough insole and put in the softer ones thereby taking up even less room.

If you can remove the original liner,in one piece, they should work. You are taking a chance on ruining the shoe because sneakers are coming out with really glued on insoles and they are part of the shoe structure. I can't walk in these flat shoes so I get desperate sometimes. You could look for a 3/4 SOFT arch support or even a flat foam heel pad-something with a low profile, to raise and protect your heel and arch. They usually come with adhesive but glue dots work to hold them in place because the darn things slide around and mess with your foot/leg/back muscles. I find those gel heel pads rock too much too but you could try them. You just can't add too much height or stiffness. If you can lift the heel part of a glued in insole and not have uneven tears, and get one of those low profile heel pads under it without removing the entire insole-fantastic. Lady Foot Locker was carrying Spenco inserts and you can try them in your shoes at a store to see if they will even work for you.

Not too sure about this. They provide good traction, but maybe too good for running. Because they dig in so much, you really have to concentrate on picking your feet up. I would consult with a running expert.

I find the anke holders surprisingly comfortable...as long as I'm wearing shoes. I've tried it without shoes and it placed too much pressure on my ankles feet. I use my running shoes and they absorb most of the pressure. The ankle braces have a quick release that will snap into place when most snug against your ankles...but it's not so snug that it cuts off circulation or anything.
